Stickers to knock back unwanted door-to-door sellers

The Department of Consumer Protection is distributing 'Do Not Knock' stickers to all corners of Western Australia, after a landmark Federal Court ruling.

A recent test case determined that a sticker, requesting door-to-door sellers not approach a property, provides enough warning to make it illegal for salespeople to come knocking.

The Department of Consumer Protection has responded by producing thousands of stickers that people can put on their door or buzzer.

Senior regional officer Annetta Bellingeri says the department is happy to provide a sticker to anyone who is interested.

"People can contact consumer protection in all of our regional offices in Albany, Bunbury, Kalgoorlie, Geraldton, Karratha, Broome and Perth ... and we're more than happy to send out stickers to anyone who's interested," she said.

"The department will be actively distributing them to different community groups and organisations."
